I'm guessing a large proportion of the replies to Mbappe are Ninja Turtles related?

Clearly why the tech failed as Davis doesn't score goals.

I've lived in both Devon and Leeds, I would recommend Leeds of the two. Fantastic city, especially for younger people. Vibrant with a great night life, great shopping, fantastic restaurants (especially curry houses) and some lovely countryside nearby. It's better placed logistically too and much easier to travel to/from.

Your losses would follow you back up as they look at the last few year's. So unless they spent several year's down there they'd still get hit. Maybe that's the plan.

You'd think all the washing would get rid of some of the dirt and corruption.

That's exactly my point. It wouldn't be allowed, but for some reason it's fine for a different royal family to have stakes in multiple other clubs.

Quoted 9 great lines but still left out so many more brilliant ones. I could quote that movie all day and often do with my friend's. This is also one of my favourite video's on YouTube.

Think it's fairly normal for kid's and especially boy's for some reason. My son was obsessed with his Mum just like your's. He would openly tell me that he loves me, just no where as near as he loves his mum. Really kicked off about the same age. He's nearly 7 and seems to be growing put of it and focusing more on me. I wouldnt worry.

The Royal family own half of London and the King is estimated to be worth between £1b and £2b. However, my query of Will's buying us would be more along the undue influence it would bring, similar to City/Newcastle being owned by nation states. If Nas or Wes tries to call the PM to complain about something Villa related, the PM likely won't listen, but if the King (assuming Charles has gone) owned us and called the PM to complain then he'd get straight through.

There is a clear difference between a private individual who wants to invest their own money, and a literal country who own the club for non-sporting reasons. The Prime Minister is never going to be personally getting involved and arguing in favour of a single person and how they want to run their club. We've already seen this with Newcastle and their ownership and there's rumours that the government is putting pressure on regarding City. That's getting off topic though, so to reiterate my original point, if Nas or Wes want to invest their own money, they should be able to as long as it is their money. If they were to sign Mbappe on £500m a year for 3 year's and they put £1500m somewhere safe to pay for it then fantastic. If they signed him and then said that it's Villa's problem and bankrupted the club, that's not on. This is what FFP/PSR should be about. Nswe clearly want to invest in the club and should be free to do so.

Owners should be allowed to spend whatever they want to spend as long as it's not putting debt on the club. Put the debt on the owner and make them personally liable for it. Force owner's to put money into escrow with an independent third party to cover any debts they're putting on the club. Clubs won't go bankrupt and owner's are free to invest. Then prohibit nation states from owning club's and putting undue influence on the government so that they get involved.

Speak for yourself. I'm too tired for that.

15 year's later! Thread was dead for longer than some of the replies in here!

It's no good having a group of talented youngsters coming through if the older pro's that they're looking upto are horribly unprofessional. They'll learn bad behaviours and stunt their careers.

It's impossible to like pies too much.

If the Saudi royal family can have stakes in at least 3 Premier League club's, then it seems only fair for Prince William to be allowed to buy a stake in Villa and for us to then get all the advantages that would bring.

Jesus would be absolutely disgusted with Trump and his whole following.

His advisor was a snake though.

Finally got around to watching The Bear and think it was brilliant. Struggled to like some of the characters mind and wish Carmie would stop constantly apologising and call other people out on their nonsense.

Law vs morality was probably the most fascinating thing I studied at university and leans heavily into this area. It's why having 3 true branches or democracy is so important, to try and limit one branch overstepping. However, even this is far from perfect.
